Does anyone here know if it is possible to extend my Windows desktop on my
A20m-4VU 2628 ? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Problem Description:

I'm trying to get it to work with multiple monitors and extended desktop
under W2K Pro.
But, I can't.

According to the Windows help:
.Open Display in Control Panel.
.On the Settings tab, click the monitor icon that represents the monitor you
want to use in addition to your primary monitor.
.Select the Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor check box, and then
click Apply or OK.

But, I never see a 2nd monitor icon or the "Extend my Windows ..." checkbox.

Configuration details.

Windows 2000 Pro, Service Pack 4 plus up-to-date patches.
